If you have damaged or old frames (old wax combs from the brood nest), make sure that you remove them and replace them with new fresh ones before the wintering period. This is to prevent bee diseases from developing in the colony or providing drone brood to be produced in excess, which is beneficial for the reproduction of varroa.
